I'm thinking about using some kind of high density foam for the body of the AT-4...for weight and practicality.
About how much would it cost for me to have it molded and formed?
Where?

Do you think its possible to get my hands on a dummy/inert AT-4 to have molded?

Yeah thats him Razz
And he said "hard as a rock" just letting you know, lol

Isn't hard foam really expensive? I don't know much about it, but I thought that stuff was costly...
You can't just use PVC plumbing and add fake weight to it? haha

Well I'm using ABS piping for the actual barrel...but that'd look so dumb just by itself.
The foam will just be an outer shell. The "aesthetic" part that makes it look like an AT-4 rather than...an ABS pipe...lol
